UDDERLY FANTASTIC SUPPORT AND WARMTH NEW BRA DESIGN

 

I have to wonder if a lonely farmer invented these late during the 20 hour of dark seasons. 

An American, a Mr. Tamm invented a bovine boulder holder in the 1940s because his prize milking cows kept stepping on their teats. (Did you know that a milk cows udder can weigh over 100 pounds when full of milk?  Gives a whole new meaning to over endowed.)  His daughter still continues the business, her father's and her story is at the following link:

There is a french designer (go figure!) that has a line of bovine support bras (should that be singular?)  that includes lace lined bras (bra).                                                                                                                                                                        

IT'S UDDER-LY COLD OUT THERE

 BY Leon Watson; THE SUN UK On Line Edition; Feb. 4th 2009

HOLY cow! These farm animals are so cold they're wearing bovine BRAS to keep warm.

The nippy winter weather in Russia at the moment is so extreme farmers in Oimyakon have been forced to make their cows wear protection.

Local civic leader Rustam Krivoshapkin said: "All the cows in the village wear them.

"The bra protects them from getting their udders completely frozen up.

"They all seem to like it because it can't be nice to have such cold teats.

"They come in all sorts of different colours and they are all made of very warm thermal warm material, like fleeces," he added.

In the depths of winter, the temperature in Oimyakon often plunges to -64C.

FROM THE EARTH TIMES ON LINE

Moscow - Farmers in Russia's Far East have outfitted their heifers with special furry bras to protect their udders as temperatures hit 50 degrees below zero. Local residents in the Russian region of Yakutia say if they don't sew such mono-bras for the cows, their milking nipples may suffer frostbite in the drastic temperatures.  ( Frost Bitten nipples?  OUCH!!!  As opposed to gently bitten nipples?)

 

 

 

 

A sheer see through model for those warm days. . .

 

 

"The bras, or - in Yakutian - "sialdbas", are made from a triangle of thick fabric lined with rabbit fur. Three straps are sewn onto the bra, two of which are tied around the cows' waist and the third to the tail," one resident, Natalia Semyenova, was quoted by news agency Ria-Novosti as saying.
